General Election Coming Up

As usual in Sri Lanka as soon as the presidential election is over the general election is coming up. It is very amusing to watch people who supported each other in the presidential election now going up against each other. It is really funny to see UNP candidates having a go at the JVP. I think this general election will spell doom for JVP and they have wisely teamed up with General Sarath Fonseka. It is really sad to see the current state of the such a heroic figure. It just goes to show how downright dirty our politics and politicians really are. Government is giving there best to get 2/3 in the parliment so they can change the constitution and by looking at the way current there using the power now I really don't feel like giving them 2/3 in the parliment.
I think one of the main reasons it is hard to develop this country is this constant power struggle. From morning to night the opposition is looking for ways to topple the government so goverment have to be constantly be on the lookout for such a coup. If the politicians focus 10% of that energy to develop this country this will be a much better place to live. I can't forsee this happening in the near future and that is the most sadest thing of them all.
